The Battle of Bagbrades (also known as Battle of Campi Magni, Great Plains) was fought in 203 BC between a combined Carthaginian and Numidian force, and the Roman army of Scipio Africanus. The Carthaginians were led by Hasdrubal Gisco, while the Numidians were led by Syphax. Scipio defeated his opponents, forcing Carthage to recall Hannibal from Italy.
